Western appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1885-18??, 1887-10-01

Nothing that has transpired in this
city since our advent seems to have so
aroused the Colored citizens as the kill
ing of Tim Graham by Sheriff Richter,
Tuesday night, and, the sentiment
among them is almost unanimous, that
the killing was unjustifiable, the verdict
of the majority of the coroners jury to
the contrary notwithstanding. In this
opinion they are not alone, but are sec
onded by large number of the whites
who are not SO hide bound and affected
with color prejudice, that they can not
render a just opinion where the two
races are concerned. We never laid
eyes on either Graham or Richter, and
know nothing of either. excepting what
we have learned from the daily press
and current conversation, but we have
come to the conclusion that because a
county officer, a white man, has killed
only Negro, nothing should be done
about the matter. The features in the
case are to well known to need repeti-
ton and any unbiased person can easily
come to the conclusion that there is
something beneath the surface that b as
not been brought to light and therefor a
ADMINISTRATION of the affair should be
had. Life was as sweet to Graham as it
is to Richter, both are the sons of Adam,
brothers. The fact that Richter is sher-
if, and white, makes him no better than
Graham, the discharged janitor who is
black, both should be judged alike by
men as they will be in the final judy
ment by God. If Graham was wrong
and Richter right, let the facts be es-
tablished in court of justice and every
body will be satisfied. We don't i'm
peach the judgment of the five jurors
who wished to exhonorate the sheriff,
as they were perhaps judging the case
according to the evidence adduced at
the inquest, but there are some facts
which they are doubtless unaware of,
which are talked of quite frequently,
and which seem to have considerable
foundation, and which may have had
much to do with the killing of Graham,
these facts might be brought out in the
Grand jury room and the friends of
simple and exact justice should insist
that Sheriff Richter be brought before
that tribunal, there to be cond emned or
acquitted. We do not wish anything
but justice in any case and we voice the
sentiments of all the Colorsd People in
the city for they wish the same.
The manner in which the daily papers
have spoken of the affair has raised the
just indignation of the Colored People,
not that Graham was so highly respect
ed among us, but because of the princi-
pie that seems to prevail, the principle
that led Chief Justice fancy to declare:
g Negro has no rights which a white
man is bound to respect" The Color
ed citizens are determined in this matter
and the proper investigation must be
had.
